Carpenter to Write Series of Letters for The Oregonian Traveler Whose Articles Are Known the World Over Takes Up Subject of Timely Interest in the Pacific Northwest Beginning next Sunday, The Oregonian rill publish a series cf letters on the New Alaska. These letters will describe the country it is today on the eve of ita rapid development by our Government and people. They will picture the great terri tory that is soon to be opened up by the new railroads Uncle Sam is now building, and will jrive the latest information about a region that will be discussed in Congress during the coming session. The letters will be written by Frank C. Carpenter, who haa spent the most of the past year in gathering the material and visiting every accessible part of the territory. Mr. Carpenter went to Alaska shortly after the breaking-up of the ice last Spring. Ho sailed from island to island through the southeastern ar,d southwestern parts of the country, and 'isited much of the coast-line, which all told is longer than the distance around the world. He crossed the Alaska range over the White Pass railway into the Yukon Valley and traveled several thousand miles on the Yukon and ita tributaries. From the mouth of the Yukon he went to St. Michael and the Seward Peninsula, and from there crossed Bering Sea to the Aleutian Islands, the great archipelago that extends from our continent almost to Asia. He haa also gathered citerial about the Eskimos and the ic regions of the Arctic Ocean. A large part of Mr. Carpenter'a trip was devoted to the lands to be opened up by the new Government, railway. That road is now building. It will be almost 600 miles long, and will throw open to settlement some of the richest of the farming lands of Alaska. It will Up the great coal mines of the Mat anuska Valley and will connect Seward, on Prince William Sound, with the six thousand miles of navigable waters which are fur nished by the Yukon and ita tributaries. The terminus of the new road is to be at Fairbanks, In the heart of Central Alaska, a city which Mr. Carpenter has visited and which will be described. ' During his trip Mr. Carpenter went from Seward across the Kenai Peninsula, which ia to be traversed by the railroad. His trav els there were largely on foot and on horse back, part of the way being through grass of the height of a man 'a waist. Mr. Carpen ter says the peninsula is half the size of Indiana, and that it will some day be covered with farms. a Further on in that part of his journey Mr. Carpenter went to Anchorage, the tent-and-shack metropolis now going up at the end of the railroad on Turnagain Arm. a r.ttnrea is now tha headauarters of the railroad construction. There Mr. Carpenter met the officials of the Railroad Commis sion and went about with the engineers and surveyors. His descriptions will show the work as it is now going on. In other parts of the tour Mr. Carpenter visited the several private railroads that I -v -, -1 - i ""?'- ' K I 1' " - t 7 ' ' - -II '. .' "'.- J Fraak G. Carpenter, Mht Will Write Alas ka for The Oregealaa. have been built in the territory, including the twenty-million dollar Copper River line owned by the Guggenheims. He will de scribe the construction and operation of these roads and draw lessons from them as to Uncle Sam's experiment in Government" ownership. Many of Mr. Carpenter's letters will be of interest to money-makers, investors and young men who are looking for places to settle and for new worlds to conquer. He will picture the farming regions of Alaska and show the advantages and disadvantages which they offer to homesteaders. He will also describe the gold camps, and give many stories of fortune-making, past and present, connected with them. He will treat of the great copper deposits, some of which are now producing millions of dollars per an num, and of the coal lands that are open to the prospector and the investor. He will also tell you about the fishing in dustry that has yielded hundreds of millions of dollars and is as yet in its beginning. In this connection he will show that Alaska is now furnishing a large part of the fresh fish used in the United States. The fish are put upon ice as soon as they come from the sea and carried in ice in cold-storage ships and cars until they reach our breakfast tables. Mr. Carpenter will also describe the new reindeer industry which promises to make Alaska venison one of the meats of our daily consumption. He has visited the reindeer herds and has watched them slaughtering the deer for such shipment. He will also give you information about the fur-farming industry. This is growing so fast that the - day may come when the female clerks of our department stores may yet be wearing their fox furs from Alaska. Among the most interesting of Mr. Car penter's letters will be those relating to the people of Alaska, showing how they live and work in the land of Arctic Winters and the Midnight Sun. All along the Yukon and in the valleys of its tributaries are little settlements inhabited by men and women who have customs of their own, enforced by their Arctic surroundings. The common wages throughout interior Alaska run from $4 to $8 a day, and the prices of eatables are close to the sky. Mr. Carpenter will also introduce you to the scenic wonders of Alaska, which when the new railroads are finished, will make that country the Summer playground of the United States. He will show you volcanoes whose ashes have sprinkled the world; and glaciers which surpass in extent those of the Himalayas and the Alps. He will describe the Summers that clothe the land with the most gorgeous vegetation, embracing myr iads of wild flowers and wild berries of many varieties, and the ice-clad Winters, where the thermometer at times goes down to 70 degrees below zero. He will picture the big game of Alaska, the caribou, which move about in herds of 10,000, the mighty moose and the bears, white, brown and black. The country is a fisherman's para dise and its wild birds are numbered by millions. It is, in short, a new world and one through these letters now to be opened up to our readers. For this work there are few men better fitted than Frank G. Carpenter. For the past 30 years he has been traveling over the globe and writing about it for the 'American people. He needs no introduction, for the accuracy of his statements and his plain, simple, graphic descriptions are known to alii As one of his admirers has said: "Reading Carpenter is seeing the world."
